Anthropology Club

A message from club leadership:

Anthropology Club is a forum for anthropologists of all levels to come together and
explore new ideas, develop meaningful experiences and participate in the surrounding
community. Our goals are to develop a resource for students to facilitate greater
awareness about humanity and culture among themselves and throughout their community.
We want to initiate a community presence for the UNC Anthropology Department and create
important connections between students and faculty. We encourage everyone to help
us direct the path of the club throughout the year and to share your ideas and feedback.
As always, students, faculty, staff and friends are always welcome to attend and contribute
to all Anthro Club events and meetings.

We look forward to seeing you!
